Jehovah Jireh

Most of us are familiar with this name God our provider. It is essential that we know this as an experience instead of just knowing coz the pastor says so.

With the recent rise in fuel prices... the prices of other basic necessities have also gone up and these have brought on great lamentations. We have read and heard so much about these issues being debated and how to overcome and make ends meet etc etc. The list goes on.

Our family is no different in that we also face the high cost of living. We used to be able to fill our Innova for a full tank (around RM 80) but now its way above RM 100 !!! When we do our groceries and have our drinks and noodles at the kopitiam the prices are much higher.

Philip & I choose not to complain but rather to trust God. In Gen 26, God instructed Isaac to stay and not to go to Egypt even tho there was a famine in the land. Isaac obeyed and God blessed him abundantly. Philip and I believe that He is Jehovah Jireh..... and even if the gov't does not reduce the price of petrol , God can still take care of us. God is not surprised at all by the sudden announcement of the new petrol price. If we as His children obey His Word and stand on His promises surely we will not lack. ( Ps.34 :8-10 , 2 Cor. 9:6-8 )

God has always been faithful to our family. Financially, He has provided for us even in the most difficult times of our lives. I remember when we were going through a very rough patch financially, God spoke to my heart to increase our tithe and offering. So many thoughts raced through my mind but we decided to honor our Father in heaven by obeying. During that season, amazingly we never experienced any lack. Such is the faithfulness of our God. After the testing period was over, we found that we were able to settle the loan for the music studio far earlier than anticipated. View from our music studio at sunset.

God also rewarded us with a trip to South Africa, money to buy a grand piano (I had chosen the smallest baby grand but God had other plans. He chose the next size up, much to Philip's delight as it was a gift for him) and we believe He has more blessings in store for us.

We firmly believe that in the days to come..... as the Lord continue to prosper us we will be able to do more for the glory of His name.
